Qualitative and Quantitative Study on Components of Future Time Perspective and Their Association with Persistent Treatment for Type 2 Diabetes.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionFuture time perspective (FTP) means the capacity to foresee, anticipate, and plan for future desired outcomes, and it contributes to persistent treatment for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the components of FTP specific to T2DM patients have not been clarified. This study aimed to explore the components of FTP and to examine the associations between such components and persistent/impersistent diabetes treatment.
methodsIn this cross-sectional study, using qualitative and quantitative methods, 106 T2DM patients were enrolled by purposive sampling. The participants were interviewed in October and November 2018 by public health nurses in Koriyama City Public Health Center, Japan. In addition to the participants' status of treatment engagement (persistent/impersistent), their responses regarding reasons for persistent/impersistent treatment were collected and then summarized into nine subthemes, which were then merged into two main themes according to the presence or absence of FTP with a sense of T2DM ownership for analysis.
resultsThe main theme, "presence of FTP with a sense of T2DM ownership," included subthemes such as "securing social independence," "planning on living a long and healthy life," "prioritizing avoiding being a burden on family and friends," "valuing improvement of diabetes," "avoiding tragic results," "optimistically viewing treatment as a form of self-development," and "improving mental health," whereas the main theme, "absence of FTP with a sense of T2DM ownership," included "lack of consciousness of disease" and "living a dissipated life." The association between the presence of FTP with a sense of T2DM ownership and persistent treatment for T2DM was found using Fisher's exact test (p < 0.001).
conclusionHealth care professionals should support T2DM patients in having an FTP with a sense of T2DM ownership and purpose in life instead of treatment goals when such patients mention their dissipated life or lack of insight into the disease.
